ABSTRACT
Debates in the post-industrial or ‘new capitalist’ world about flexicurity, 1 labour-market activation (LMA), workfare, and ‘welfare-to-work’ have been fuelled by a variety of factors. Effects associated with economic globalisation have diminished the security of livelihoods founded on wage labour. And the effect of the ‘crisis’ of the capitalist welfare state has been to diminish the security once guaranteed through rights of social citizenship.
